Why Schools

1. Schools can handle such important areas very carefully and effectively - by designing appropriate courseware, arranging resources like faculty and teaching about technical aspects of this process - which will help convince young minds about the relevance of this process. 

2. Schools are vested/ given with the obligation /duty  of polishing the personalities of children - recycling is likely to become an important trait of personalities of rational adults, it should be fostered during formative years. 

3. They learn better in a formal environment, among their peers, and also grab the content clearly which is retained longer

Why Parents 

1. Parents are role models for their wards and the latter follow the footsteps and precedents set by the former without questioning: What parents will do will automatically be grasped by the latter. 

2. This skills is better learnt in practical environment and this can be rendered easily by families

With the rising threat to the environment nowadays, many opine that the importance of recycling should be taught to the young oneS by their parents. However, this has ensued a profound debate as many believe that such tasks should be learnt at schools.

It is said virtue begins at home, thus, learning of a skill like recycling must be taught there. Mothers and fathers can set precedents in front of their wards to show its importance. As children look up to their parents as their role models, they can persuade the former to embrace the art of reusing effectively. Moreover, this process is usually  illustrated practically where the elders are seen following the method of reusing household goods of various kinds, which the young ones start following without questioning.   

Nevertheless, many do not go with the former opinion, as per them a specialised task such as recycling must be learned about at formal tuition. These institutions  have every apparatus to teach young ones about this process. Schools can inculcate this learning in their curriculum which can help their students to acquire substantial knowledge about recycling. 

Moreover, another view that one can hardly overlook is that youngsters building their moral character during their schooling which is an important perspective for making children to indulge themselves in the process of reusing, thus, it becomes an obligation for these institutions to make their students learn such important operations.

To recapitulate, controversies apart I strongly believe recycling is an immensely important task that every youngster should learn to make this process work effectively, and this can only be achieved when both parents and schools will take onus of this activity, since they influence young ones equally.
